I'm only 45 but Revolvers are my favorite. I have autos also but revolvers just provide more fun. Had my 29 and 625 at the range today. Three young guys were blasting away with some plastic wonders. It didn't take long before they were asking what I was shooting. Good thing I brought extra...

Ok does anyone have one of these. Are they a good revolver. I looking at getting a 4" nickel. How is the nickel finish? Will it be durable? This will bought to carry and shoot not to sit in a safe. Thanks Fairlane

Picked up a 45 Colt mountain gun slightly used. Came with box and all the papers. Should I fill out the ownership card and send it in? Does this gain you anything? Thanks
